I don't think we know either way, but we do know at one point Anthropic would silently sabotage requests, Stuxnet style: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/10/if-claude-fable-stops…

On the dumb side, I think this was 6 August and Opus 5 (though there's a chance it was Opus 4.8), Auto Mode was copying some files into a folder on my machine, and had written a sm…

> Most MCP servers still bloat up my context... Modern harnesses don't do that, MCP is also progressive disclosure now. MCP tool descriptions aren't included anymore, and have to b…

Ahh, I see the "last updated" line and the Changelog now! I must have been having a really fuzzy brain day. Thanks for pointing that out!

Mojeek is okay, but I think I'd struggle to use it as my primary search. I do include it in my personal metasearch results though, and find it worth paying for their API access (at…

Finally found it! It's called Uruky: https://uruky.com/ It's a small European Kagi competitor trying to get started, the creator sometimes posts here on HN. The name is really not …

The article cites Jiji Press, which eventually led me here: https://jen.jiji.com/jc/i?g=eco&k=2026080100365 https://jen.jiji.com/jc/eng?g=eco&k=2026080100365 Looks like it's a news…

If you don't mind paying and someone else having control over your search experience, Kagi is an option. Urkey (sp?) is another new alternative. If you just want a free search engi…

> ...they don't bring out a lot of new features since it's not a monthly SaaS. But it is! The Patron level of Pocket Casts is $15.99 / month! I used to love Pocket Casts, but it di…

I had the same reaction as well, the macOS designs looked busy and cluttered. I was surprised that AI companies had landed on something more refined. If nothing else: why is the le…

There is - in the Claude Code harness there's a dedicated Plan Mode that doesn't edit any files, or a mode where you can manually approve each edit. If you're running Claude via -p…

That sounds entirely plausible. When I was on the Claude Max $100 plan, I would often get the equivalent of at least $1300 API usage, according to the costs counter in Claude Code.…

Most of that is paywalled, but this one paragraph in the Bloomberg article suggests it might be more to do with investors leaking information: "The suspension stemmed in part from …

Unfortunately, that's nearly identical to the text from September 2024, with the only change being an increase in the number of external search sources: https://web.archive.org/web…

Yep, discovering that you only need a subset of sites is the key. In my case, I still had my entire Firefox browsing history in its SQLite cache, so I tried to index every page I'd…

No, they don't, and I had a feedback request back in September 2024 about that: https://kagifeedback.org/d/4727-option-to-choose-or-exclude-... I ended up quitting Kagi over that a…

Huh. They're not "Pelicanmaxxing"... they're Ottermaxxing. Take a look at the GLM 5.2 and Deepseek V4 "animal on a plane" examples. In every case, the animal is standing on top of …

In case it isn't clear, the wall here is a representation of the actual wall at the Visitor Center at the Cornell Lab Of Ornithology. They also have a live webcam of their bird fee…

That's the profit margin on inference, not overall. Each model does end up being profitable over its lifetime, but the money they're making is being immediately churned into buying…

This actually looked excellent, except it seems in my case to have hallucinated much of the information and links - every "receipt" I clicked on resulted in a 404. But a website th…

"As of October [2025], OpenAI's compute margins reached 70%, up from 52% at the end of 2024 and double the rate in January 2024, [The Information] said, citing a person familiar wi…

This is my experience as well. Lots of success with running one hour Fable sessions (one hour of API time). Not using a loop here, but there's often lots of documentation for Claud…
